Well the key would be to pull that data from somewhere... i.e. stock info has to come from a stock site somehow, weather data needs to come from a weather site, etc. This all really gets beyond the original scope of Flip, since the whole point was to make this as a fully functional alarm clock, not a complete tablet control app... I just don't want to end up building another MediaBox (which has a giant clock display as one of it's screens while music is playing/etc).

That being said, I do like the weather thing... not even so much for the "weather icon" idea, as for some of the possibilities you could do with it. For example, I build a website years ago now that connected to an online weather feed and used that data to update the display of the site... so when the weather was cloudy or overcast, the site's colour theme blended with a gray/dull kind of overlay and the background had clouds gradually move in/appear. If the weather said rain, then there was a dark blue tint to things and rain drops began to fall randomly, etc. That would be pretty awesome to have going on...
